Does anyone know if Batman Forever or Batman and Robin might be coming any time soon from LLL? I can't remember the latest news on those.

Batman Forever is planned to be coming out for Comic Con

All the reference there point back to the threads on the FSM board where MV says stuff.

Nothing has been said by MV concerning Batman and Robin

I think there may be some rights issues with Batman & Robin.

I'm sure once they get untangled LaLaLand will release, if possible.

According to Elliot Goldenthal's official Facebook page Batman Forever is due to be released in October:

Here's the latest, Goldenthal fans! A double album of BATMAN FOREVER will be released this October by LA LA LAND RECORDS. Also in October, at this years "World Soundtrack Awards" in Ghent, dedicated to fallen colleague Ronni Chasen, Goldenthal is planning a live performance of his music from ALIEN 3, TITUS and possibly PUBLIC ENEMIES.

Disappointing. But at least there is some kind of official confirmation.

Too bad he's a Phillies fan. That's going to hold him back this year.

He used to be an Eagles fan, so he'll probably just switch again.

You know those are two different sports right

He's from southern New Jersey, so it'd make sense he's a Philadelphia Eagles (football) and Philadelphia Phillies (baseball) fan.

It's a Lincoln quote....actually.

Kinda.

Lincoln said "We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth" to Congress in his annual address in 1862, while the Civil War raged.

Ronald Reagan expanded it to "the last, best hope of man on Earth" in his Second Inaugural Address in 1985.

But J. Michael Stryzinski penned "Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. It failed." for his show.

What cricket team does he support?

Cricket sells shitty cell phones and green couches.

Well it seems that MV has been more successful with WB again as far as the Batman line goes. Hopefully he will get his dream and release the rest of the film scores through La-La Land.

I honestly haven't heard any score so I can't comment on what it's like. I do think it's cool that our own John Takis did the liner notes for it.

I would pick this up but honestly there are two other things that are higher priority for me to get next month. One is a resin kit to transform the old ERTL Excelsior model to the NX-2000 version. The plain kit is just the NCC-2000 but the thing with this conversion kit I don't know how much longer it'll be in production (aftermarket) and I am not going to miss the opportunity to get the kit.

The other thing I hope to get next month (if I have enough for both) is the re-release of the Enterprise-C kit from Round 2.

So those two things as I said have higher priority at the moment.

Definitely Sphere. I'm not familiar with the unreleased music, but given the quality of the OST, I'm sure it's great.

Unfortunately it's with Varese, so crap knows when we'll ever see that.

Why do I keep hearing the word 'perpetuity' associated with Varese? Do any of the others labels have this privilege?

LAbels get the rights to music from the studios who have the ownership. Some labels only license out for a period, or depending on what the studio wants with the title in question, while sometimes they get the rights in perpetuity, meaning them own them, and no label can use that music. Now, the following are assumptions since I never read fully into the matters, but:

1. I assume another label can try to buyout the rights from them.

2. The studio can, too.

3. After 75 years from the score's recording, I think that then becomes public domain, at which point any label has dibs. But I'm pretty sure this one might be wrong.

Some titles Varese gets the rights to in perpetuity, but not all them. Unfortunately, there is no disclosure list to the general public. [n]MV[/n] suggested writing Varese to let them know we are restless and to reconsider, especially since they don't release very many club titles each year.

Most of the 90's titles that Varèse has unfortunately have rights to for a very long time, which I think is bullshit.

I bet you a dollar and a whole donut had LLL been successful in getting the license for Stargate they would have made sure it was fully 100% complete and not just "expanded".

It irritates me to no end that Varèse treats their golden age / silver age stuff with respect to the point releasing them in complete form, yet modern stuff they just "expand".
